Way too expensive for what it does10/31/2009 by 'Nadim Mouawad' from Nadim Mouawad

I had a chance to review this plugin at several jewelry trade shows in Italy where the developers from Smart3d where giving a presentation. In reality they have very few tools which are not that useful if you are doing high end jewelry because the results are too mechanical and all the pieces end up looking like mass production from China. The price they were asking was around 2000€ which is three times the price of more professional jewelry plugins that can do the same things with the flexibility required for distinctive quality jewels and also have hundreds of other useful tools.
